Description of my issue:


Hi,

First of all, congratulations for your component. Very, very nice! Extremely helpfull. I am recommending for all the webmasters community here in Brazil.


I have been receiving tons of emails of Security Exception. I mean, a lot of them. Maybe 60 per day.

See image attached of my gmail account please.

Is this right? What should I do? Should I ignore them?

Should I configure my Admin Tools on another way? I have read the documentation, but I didn´t figured it out...

Thanks.

That's the normal volume of security exceptions for a small site. You can always clear (blank) the email address in Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF page to stop receiving those emails.

Please note that you do not need to act upon them. It's merely Admin Tools notifying you that it blocked something which looked suspicious, where it came from, what it tried to access and the reason AT thinks it's suspicious. It's the same information you get in the Security Exceptions Log page in Admin Tools.
